Mounting
The VMI is installed directly into the pipeline. The compact design and light weight of the unit
make wall-mounting unnecessary.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
Only use suitable gaskets for installation.
Observe the flow direction indicated on the type plate.
Observe the mounting dimensions (
Select an appropriate location for installation (
To ensure the best possible measuring accuracy, a vertical
installation position with increasing flow is preferable (no col-
lecting of dirt deposits).
Install the appropriate screwed connections at the installa-
tion location.
Insert the VMI together with the gaskets.
Screw the union nuts of the screwed connection onto the
process connections of the VMI.
CAUTION! Material damage!
While tightening, counter the union nut on the hexagon of the
process connection!
If you do not counter it, the VMI can be damaged!
Tighten both union nuts.
When tightening, use a spanner (af27 or af34) to counter the
process connection on the hexagon in place.

Electrical connection
The electrical connection of the VMI is via the 4(5)-pin plug M12x1 at the top of the housing.
CAUTION! Electric current!
The electrical connection should only be carried out by a fully qualified electrician.
De-energize the electrical system before connecting the VMI.
Connecting cable:
Suitable connection cables with moulded coupling socket are available in various lengths in-
cluded in the range of SIKA accessories. The shielding is already connected with the knurled
nut.
